The death of the Lusman Great Chieftain of the Lesnian Kingdom, Unamas Dia Modric, could be said to be a suicidal act. He had overestimated the value of his position as the Great Chieftain, and he was confident that the officials of the Lesnian Kingdom would rely on his position as the Great Chieftain to pacify the restless Lusmans, thus leading him to his own death.
In the hearts of the three million Lusmans of the Lesnian Kingdom, Unamas Dia Modric was the best Great Chieftain.
He was fair and merciful, and he once went up against the Lesnian Kingdom's immigrant employer for the sake of a Lusman woman who had been wronged. He used sufficient evidence to force the Lesnian Kingdom's Lord Protector to admit defeat and apologize to the woman.
This gave him great prestige, and he was called our Godfather by the Luthman people.
The officials of the Lesnian Kingdom also respected him, believing that he was a Lusman who knew the law and could abide by it.
Unamas de Modríguez had been the Great Chieftain of the Lusman for nearly thirty years. Thousands of cases had passed through his hands, and the results of his rulings had been determined, but very few people had disagreed with his decisions.
In his 30 years of service, Great Chieftain Unamas Dia Modric had vigorously promoted the basic education of the Lusmans, and he had worked tirelessly to change the traditional customs and habits of the Lusmans.
(Note: The Great Chieftain here does not refer to the leader of the tribe, but the chief executive.
Like a judge, he would make the final judgment and judgment on the conflicts between the Lusmans and other tribes.)
In the eyes of the spies of the overseas autonomous military intelligence department, Great Chieftain Unamas Dia Modric was the best candidate to lead the Lusmans against the colonists of the Lesnian Kingdom.
However, what they did not expect was that Great Chieftain Unamas Dia Modric was not a radical nationalist. On the contrary, he cherished peace and did not like violence.
While he was unhappy with the oppression and exploitation of the Lusmans by the colonists, he believed in the law and believed that peaceful resistance and the rule of law would one day bring hope to the Lusmans.
Unamas de Modríguez's only mistake was to accept the aid of weapons from the autonomous region. The fifteen thousand new muskets convinced the spies of the military intelligence department that the Luthmans would soon become like the pamigars and launch an armed uprising to fight for national liberation and independence.
Little did they know that the chief's purpose in accepting the military aid was to form a self-defense force for the Lusmans to protect the colony's Lusmans from the flames of war caused by the armed uprising of the neighboring pamigal people.
However, the Shiksan folk were a little too quick. After wiping out the three standing corps of Lesnia, they swept through half of the colony and handed the looted towns to the losman tribe to manage.
Even though Great Chieftain Unamas forbade the losman tribes from participating in the war between Hesnia and the Shiksan colonists, there would always be losman tribes who were unwilling to be left out and took over the towns captured by the Shiksan.
The troubled Great Chieftain Unamas could only refuse the advice of his friends and family and refuse to meet with the Shiksan envoys.
He insisted on going to Castle Salat to meet with the colonial officials, hoping to clear up the misunderstanding and make it clear that the Shiksan folk's claim that they were there to help the Lusmans achieve their independence was a lie.
It was just that Unamas had overestimated the tolerance of the officials in Lesnia's colony, and he did not expect the changes that the outcome of the battle would bring to him personally.
Even when he said that the Lusmans were willing to fight the invading Shiksan folk with the colonial army to restore peace, he was still greeted with doubtful gazes from the colonial officials. None of them were willing to believe him.
If Chief Unamas had said this before the Kingdom of Lesnia invaded the Pamigal Republic, perhaps the colonial officials would have believed him and rewarded him with a Medal of Friendship.
But now, all three of Lesnia's standing legions had been wiped out, leaving only this small area in the hands of the colonial authorities. The colonial officials who heard these words were all suspicious. What was the Great Chief's intention in saying such a thing?
Was he trying to coordinate with them from the inside?
So, some officials suggested that Great Chieftain Unamas order the two Shiksan folk to stop their advance.
He also asked the Great Chief to help them and ordered the Rusman tribe, who had taken over the lost towns, to send the local officials and the kingdom's immigrants who were trapped in the concentration camp here to ensure their personal safety.
As long as these two points were achieved, the colonial authorities would believe that the Luthmans did not rebel against the kingdom …
The magnanimous Great Chieftain Unamas did as he was told and the two Shiksan folk stopped their advance and faced off against the few defenders in Castle Salat. At the same time, they didn't stop the messengers who were sent to deliver the Great Chieftain's orders and requests to the various towns.
Soon, the people who were trapped in the concentration camp were released, and they rode on simple carriages to Salat Castle.
Unamas did not expect that he would be placed under house arrest by the officials of the colony after fulfilling these two requirements. Every official who saw him, and even the guards who watched over him, cursed him as a traitor to the kingdom. Even his followers were beaten and chased away. Soon, he was left alone in a small stone hut …
As the number of the kingdom's settlers and local officials who returned from the fallen cities increased, the news of Unamas de Modríguez being imprisoned in the castle soon spread. The kingdom's settlers who had lost their properties and even their loved ones roared and demanded the colonial authorities to execute the greatest traitor of the Luthman people.
Their encounters convinced them that it was the Lusmans who colluded with the Shiksan folk to start the rebellion.
After more than two hundred years of colonial rule, there was a natural line of racial discrimination between the Lusmans and the Lusmans.
The more noble ones were the white colonists while the lowly ones were the Lusmans.
In their daily lives, there would always be incidents of the kingdom's immigrants bullying the Luthmans.
When the Shiksan folk captured the towns and imprisoned the colonists in the camp for the Lusmans to take over, many Lusmans took revenge on the colonists and their families.
For example, the young wives and daughters of the colonists were the favorites of the young Lusmans.
The funny thing was that the colonists didn't hate the Shiksan folk for plundering their property. That was probably because of the white people.
Of course, it was also because the colonists and their families weren't harmed in the process.
On top of that, the Shiksan folk claimed that they were mercenaries and that the losman had paid a hefty price to hire them. The losman wanted to emulate the pamigars and establish their own nation as an independent nation.
As for how much the Lusmans paid, the soldiers didn't know. The higher-ups, on the other hand, were very satisfied.
It was said that the agreement was made with the Lusman Great Chieftain and many other tribal chiefs and elders.
In any case, the higher-ups promised that every soldier would get a huge sum of money after the mission was accomplished.
Thus, the Lesnians who had been freed easily shifted their hatred to the Lusmans. They gathered at Salat Castle and demanded that the Lusmans be severely punished, and that the imprisoned Great Chieftain should not be spared.
The young men eagerly joined the army and even the white-haired old men cleaned their muskets and prepared to take revenge on the Lusmans with their own hands. By then, the officials of the colony could no longer suppress the anger of the people.
So, when the pamigar's chieftain, Tazinger Nora Taganem, told the envoys that the Shiksan folk weren't under his jurisdiction and had been hired by the Lusmans, Great Chieftain Unamas met his end.
It was said that the Great Chief Unamas de Modríguez, who was about to be hanged, said this to the colonial warden: "Kill me, and you will lose all hope of peace."
However, the warden rebuked him angrily, "You traitor! You should've died long ago!
You've been lying to us all this time. If you weren't a traitor, why would the Shiksan mercenaries listen to your orders?
You lied to us that you had no contact with the Shiksans, yet they handed over the towns they conquered to you Lusmans. "
Great Chieftain Unamas smiled bitterly and sighed. He closed his eyes and didn't say another word, allowing the executioner to put a noose around his head.
With the tolling of the bell, the steps under his feet were opened and the great chieftain, whom the Lusmans called Godfather, was hanged on the gallows. His final struggle was accompanied by thunderous cheers and the fists of countless Lusnians in the air. They felt the joy of revenge.
November 603 of the Sacred Light Calendar. The situation on the western coast was extremely strange.
First, it was the Pamigal Republic's war of national defense. Three regiments of pamigal armed forces had resisted the attack of one standing corps and one reserve corps of the Duchy of Vasilko. After more than two months of fighting, the pamigal armed forces had turned from defense to offense. The Duchy of Vasilko's army was forced to retreat, and they had even launched a counterattack on the border of the Duchy of Vasilko's colony.
The remaining troops of the Vassiliko Principality were no longer enough to form a corps. In the face of the aggressive attacks of the pamigar, the only thing they could do was to constantly transfer local garrisons to join the frontline defense.
However, the lack of garrisons in the rear and the lack of garrisons caused the Skorros and Gisdians to grow restless. Many towns erupted in conflict between the settlers and natives.
The officials of Vasiliko wanted to cry but had no tears. They couldn't imagine how a war to divide Moroshik's colony would turn into a war of defense for their own colony.
Moreover, the Skoros and Gisdians in the colony seemed to be joining the Pamigar in an armed uprising. The colonial officials of the Vassiliko Principality had no choice but to send a special envoy to the neighboring Opsaro City-State Union colony to ask for reinforcements.
When the Kingdom of Lesnia and the Principality of Vasiliko launched their attack, almost everyone who paid attention to the independence of the pamigar people thought that the war would end soon and the new pamigar national republic would be destroyed.
But after three months, Vasiliko went from invasion to defense and even had to request reinforcements from other countries.
Three of Lesnia's corps were completely annihilated and the four Shiksan folk swept through half of the colony.
What happened next baffled bystanders. Two Shiksan folk stood in a standoff with Lesnia's garrison. Despite having the upper hand, they didn't attack.
Meanwhile, the other two Shiksan folk suddenly launched an attack on Cape Loducus colony in the neighboring Fochs Islands.
After taking over Cape Loducus, the two Shiksan folk launched an attack on Loki Mountains, defeating a local garrison line and looting three gold mining bases.
The region was enraged and sent Monolith 3rd Folk north. After a fierce battle and heavy casualties, they finally defeated the two folk and occupied Cape Loducus.
So, in November, Fochs Bay Loducus became the new territory of the region. The enraged region sent envoys to the pamigar Republic, only to find out that the four Shiksan folk had ended their employment with the pamigars and had become mercenaries of the Lesnian colony.
It was as if the region had been stabbed in the back by the Shiksan captives they released. When the captives accepted the pamigar mercenaries and formed their own folk, the newly armed Shiksan people were dissatisfied with their defeat and took the opportunity to launch a provocative attack on the region.
However, the region was stronger and managed to defeat the two Shiksan corps with Monolith 3rd Folk alone. They even took over Cape Loducus, but it was said that they suffered heavy casualties.
That was why the region announced the urgent transfer of Monolith's 1st and 2nd Folk from the Nasrian region in the east of Freia back to the region. This was to strengthen the region's defences against enemy attacks and stabilize the people's morale.
Additionally, according to news from the Lesnians, the two Shiksan folk that attacked the region didn't have an easy time either. Only a few thousand of the sixty thousand men made it back. Most of them were sent back by Shiksan 1st and 2nd Folk to make up for the losses.
In other words, Shiksan 3rd and 4th Folk disappeared just like that.
Right after the chaotic battle between the region and Shiksan folk came to an end, the officials of the Lesnians somehow went crazy and sentenced the great chief Unamas Modríguez, who had taken the initiative to go to Salat Castle as a hostage, to death and hanged him on the gallows.
When the news spread, all the Luthman people were enraged. They gathered the young and strong, brandished their weapons and marched towards Salat Castle.
The death of Unamas Dia Modric had truly opened the curtains to the rebellion of the Lusman in the Lesnian Kingdom's colony.
When the four Shiksan corps swept through half of the colony, the people hadn't truly joined the rebellion yet.
They didn't take the initiative to attack the settlers in the towns and even continued working in the homes of the settlers.
After accepting the towns that the Shiksans had handed over to them, they treated the settlers and officials in the camps kindly.
Although there were many acts of revenge against the Lesnian Kingdom's immigrants and local officials, they were few in number and not fatal …
When they received a letter from Unamas dia Modric, requesting the release of the Kingdom's immigrants who were imprisoned in the concentration camps, the Lusman tribe did not hesitate to execute the order. They even prepared carriages and other means of transportation for the immigrants who were on the long journey.
Unfortunately, they didn't expect that their good intentions wouldn't be repaid. Their great chief was hanged on the gallows by the officials of the colony.
To all the Rusman people, the death of the Great Chief was unforgivable, because he had gone to Salat Castle of his own accord. According to the tradition of the Rusman people, he was there as a guest, but his master had caught him and publicly hanged him on the gallows.
It was the greatest insult to the people. Blood debts had to be repaid with blood. That was one of the traditions of the people.
As a result, Lesnia's colony met its end. Even though they armed 30,000 of them, they still couldn't stop the ruthless attack of the losman with the help of two Shiksan folk.
In the next three to four months, the colony of Lesnia was filled with the color of blood. Almost all of the Lesnian immigrants, including the old and the weak, were killed. Only the young women were left to become the slaves of the Luthmans.
Only a few of the settlers managed to escape with the protection of the Shiksan folk. Among them was a pair of siblings who experienced the cruel times together. The older sister became a famous writer and wrote a classic, The Age of Massacre, which opened the bloody chapter of history.
